Package not python 3 compatible

[BartBaddeley]

The code uses the old style of exception handling. It appears that a small change

requests.exceptions.RequestException, e:    

to

requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:

on lines 52, 78 and 107 makes the code python 3.4 compatible using the anaconda distribution.

Just to add - the old style exception support was extended to allow the new style in Python 2.6. The new-style (except X as y:) is supported in both Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.0+ and this includes the soon-to-be-released Python 3.5. Python 2.5 was deprecated a while back, Python 2.6 was deprecated in 2013, Python 2.7 will be deprecated in 4 years (2020).

Thanks for this. I'm running Python 3.8 and not too familiar with scripts themselves but at least I could run it with your fix

@moseleyi Glad I could help!
